Making the cover of the Wheaties box is an ultimate sign of achievement and many great athletes hold that honor close to their hearts. These athletes have reached the pinnacle of achievement in their respective sports and have graced the covers of nearly 25 wheaties boxes between them. Here, some quotes on training, motivation, and winning from some of the worlds greatest champions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael Phelps:\u00a0<\/strong><em>&#8220;I think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind to it and you put the work and time into it. I think your mind really controls everything&#8221;.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Muhammed Ali:<\/strong> <em>&#8220;I hated every minute of training, but I said, Don&#8217;t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion&#8221;.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bryan Clay:<\/strong> <em>&#8220;For so long I wanted to win the gold medal.Then I won. I had to figure out what was the new motivation to take myself to that place again.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Wayne Gretzky:<\/strong><em>&#8220;The highest compliment that you can pay me is to say that I work hard every day, that I never dog it.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<div><strong>Michael Jordan: &#8220;<\/strong><em>I&#8217;ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I&#8217;ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I&#8217;ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I&#8217;ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.&#8221;<\/em><\/div>\n<p><strong>Chris Evert: <\/strong><em>&#8220;Find something that you&#8217;re really interested in doing in your life. Pursue it, set goals, and commit yourself to excellence. Do the best you can.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael Johnson:<\/strong><em>&#8220;They don&#8217;t give you gold medals for beating somebody.
